About

On the interfaces of ecology, statistics, and geography, my research focuses on analysing spatial and temporal patterns to understand where and why animals live in a habitat and the effects of anthropogenic impacts. Understanding the likely effects of changing environmental conditions on species distributions are required for wildlife conservation efforts and spatial planning. Automating and optimising R code with GIS software for reproducible research, I use density estimation, habitat selection, map comparison, and Bayesian approaches to quantify anthropogenic impacts such as marine renewable developments and shipping on marine mammals and seabirds, which have used in spatial planning for conservation efforts and commercial objectives.
